Kagome: I’m here! Oh God, where is he? Where’s my baby!?
Miroku: You’re holding Shippo, Kagome.
Kagome: No, my big baby!
Sango: Do you mean Inuyasha? He’s right over here.

Inukag week, Day 1: Love Languages
((So glad I managed to squeeze this off before midnight!))
@inukag-week
~~~~~~
In My Arms
Kagome's return to the medieval period, being as long-awaited as it was, did not pass without fanfare. The village had welcomed her back with open arms, and held a small festival to celebrate - nothing too extravagant, it was still planting season after all, but it was amazing to know just how many people had missed her, beyond her core group of feudal friends.
By the time the first month passed, things had mostly settled into a routine that Kagome was only too happy to fall into. The familiarity had kicked in, even as she adjusted to the vast changes that had been made in her absence.
Shippo had hit an early growth spurt and almost came up to her hip now. He was still quite short for his age, but she didn't expect that he would get very tall. Sango and Miroku had babies, two beautiful little girls and the most adorable baby boy Kagome had seen since Sota was born. Fatherhood had relaxed Miroku, if only by a little, and Sango was the most fiercely protective mama bear, exactly as Kagome had expected her to be. 
But the largest change, of course, was with Inuyasha. Kagome knew in her heart how they felt about each other, but they hadn't actually said it yet. A thin layer of the normalcy she remembered was still there - it was only a matter of a few days following her return that the two of them were bickering like no time had passed at all.
But no matter the argument or insult thrown, every barb was dulled by the fact that Inuyasha had barely stopped touching her since she returned.
Any time they sat down for a meal or conversation, he was tucked up against her side, assuming he hadn't sat first and pulled her right down into his lap. Walking through the village or woods? It was only a matter of time before his hand found her back or his fingers tangled with hers. He'd been favoring holding her hand more lately, but she supposed it was at least partially because she had made a habit of lifting their joined hands to kiss his knuckles. She'd noticed the way his expression softened when she did it, and if he'd had a tail - as she often wished he did, when they first met and she had struggled to read him - she was certain it would be wagging. 
She had almost asked about it, the first time she found him leaning on her during dinner the night she returned, but the way his ears drooped when she said his name stopped her in her tracks before she could say a word more. And hey, it wasn't as if she was complaining, right? Why would she? So she'd asked if he had enough rice and smiled at how he relaxed even further into her as the meal progressed. 
That evening, when he had sat up against the wall of Kaede's hut, putting himself between her and the door the way he always did, she had stayed in place for only a minute or two before crawling closer and resting her head in his lap.
From there, everything had just… fallen into place.
Now, a month into her new life, she knew she couldn't be happier with her decision. She'd taken up priestess training with Kaede again, and was always ready to help Sango with the kids. And Inuyasha was always nearby. He'd been more than a bit antsy as the weeks wore on, and Kagome found herself the tiniest bit relieved when Miroku came around to let Inuyasha know they'd been hired for an exorcism to the north, maybe two days walk from the village. She thought it would be a good opportunity for Inuyasha to let off some steam - he'd been in the village with her for a month now, and she knew too well how anxious that could make him.
"Nah. I'm not feelin' it this time around. You and Shippo can handle it, right?"
Sango and Kagome looked up from where Hisui was laying, Sango arching a brow at him while Kagome's furrowed in confused concern.
"Are you sure, Inuyasha? Everything's been so peaceful lately, it might be a while before we get another job."
"Yeah, I'm good. Hey! Maybe Sango can go and Kagome and I can handle the brats!"
The way Sango picked up the baby and held him to her while glaring daggers at Inuyasha said that they would not be allowed to "handle the brats" without her just yet. Kagome stood from her spot on the grass, picking up a nearby bucket.
"I'm… gonna go get more water for the kettle," she hummed, only getting a few paces away before she heard footsteps start up behind her. 
She led Inuyasha a little ways away from the rest of the group, waiting until he reached out to tangle his fingers with her free hand to speak.
"I think you should go with Miroku."
"He'll be fine on his own. We haven't run into anything too powerful in over a year."
"That's not what I mean, and I think you know it," she hummed, pulling him closer and releasing his hand so she could wrap her arm around his middle. No escaping this conversation. She saw his ears lower, but his arm automatically mirrored hers. "Don't get me wrong; I love having you close at hand every minute of every day. I love holding hands and cuddling at night. But we need to be able to go off and do our own thing for a while. It's been a month since I got back, and you're already going stir-crazy."
"I'm fine, it's not a big deal," he but back, sounding more than a little grumpy.
"Oh, please. I know you well enough to know when you're itching for a fight. Really, Inuyasha, you can leave the village for a couple of days! Sango and I can look after the kids and hold down the fort until you get back."
"It's not that simple. What if-"
"If anything happens here, Sango and I can handle it. Shippo and Kilala will take the kids somewhere safe while we deal with whatever demon decides that attacking us is worth dying for."
"Kagome-"
"And again, zero complaints about the cuddling, but you really don't need to babysit me! I'll be right where you left me when you come back-"
"You disappeared in front of my eyes! If you're going to get taken away from me again, I at least want to be here to say goodbye!"
Kagome felt her eyes go wide, and Inuyasha winced a little at his own outburst. A brief, tense silence fell between them before Kagome's expression went soft, and she reached out, placing her hands gently on the sides of his face.
"It's happened before." Inuyasha tersely reminded her, eyes cast downward. "The jewel's come back before, it could happen again, and I don't- I can't lose you again. But if something is gonna take you away, I want to at least hold you until you go."
She took a deep breath, an apologetic look crossing her face. Inuyasha had gradually become more physically affectionate over their time together, so while she'd expected a little separation anxiety, she had thought the new closeness was just the natural expression of their relationship. She wished she had noticed his concern sooner, if only so that she could have assuaged his fears.
"Inuyasha," Kagome murmured, waiting until his amber eyes met hers. "I'm not going anywhere. Not anymore. I couldn't say why, but I'm as certain as I can be, I'm here to stay. I know it's scary. Being back here with you all has felt like a dream, and sometimes I worry I'm going to wake up." 
She pulled his face down so she could press her forehead to his. Her hands moved down his chest and wrapped around his middle, giving him a warm smile.
"But I'm here. You're not getting rid of me that easily again. And if a human, a demon, or fate itself tries to take me away again, you know I'll fight tooth and nail to get back to you."
She felt his arms close around her, and he leaned a little more heavily into her, eyes falling shut. In a voice smaller than any she'd ever heard from him before, he asked, "Promise?"
"I promise," she murmured back, squeezing him tight against her. "So here's what's going to happen: You're going to go with Miroku. You're gonna exorcize whatever Demon you've been hired to handle. And in a few days time, you'll be back in my arms. Just like you are now. Okay?"
Inuyasha sighed, but after a moment, offered a small smile, pulling away enough to meet her eyes again.
"Okay," he finally allowed, reaching up to brush her bangs out of her eyes. 
"Good. Now hurry on - the sooner you get going, the sooner you'll be back."

Inuyasha’s character development towards saving strangers has my heart in a choke hold oh my gods.
Early Inuyasha: “Ugh, how come I’m always stuck saving people!? There aren’t even any jewel shards here!”
Late Inuyasha: “It’s too dangerous for you to be out here. You should go home, where it’s safe and warm.”
LIKE BABY BOOOOOYYYYYYYYY MY SON LOOK AT HOW MATURE YOU’VE GOTTEN ALSJSKSKSK SANGO AND MIROKU HAVE RAISED YOU SO WELL MY PRECIOUS DOG CHILD

Little Miroku + cg Inuyasha fic
Crossposted on my ao3 if you prefer to read it there <3
Miroku's my favorite character therefore he gets babied :3
~~~~
"Why am I stuck babysitting you? Why couldn't Sango do this?" Inuyasha huffs, sitting down in front of the regressor. The half demon puts a mocking tone to his voice as he mimics what the instructions given to him. "’Inuyasha, stay here and watch over Miroku, he's too little right now. You can handle that can't you?’ Keh!"
The group was stopped at an inn for the night the stress of travel without proper lodging catching up on them all. Miroku especially who’s headspace had plummeted the moment they had started to settle. Somewhere between Inuyasha checking to make sure the rooms they were staying in were safe, and the girls leaving to go bath he had gotten forced into the position as babysitter and he was not liking it.
Miroku doesn't seem to be paying any attention to him as Inuyasha complained aloud, busy fidgeting the beads wrapped around his right hand instead.
"Hey! Be careful with those!" Inuyasha snaps, swatting at the other's hand as the regressor tried to pull off the beads. "Don't take that off ya hear? And don't try chewing on ‘em neither." He adds on the last part as if he could read the little's mind.
Miroku deflates.
"Are you seriously pouting?"
The age regressor nods. "Meanie!" He shouts before returning to his sulking. Going as far as to turn his back on his friend.
"How am I the meanie when all I'm doing is trying to keep you an’ me safe?!"
Miroku whines. "I don't want them on though." He shakes his hand out to prove his point. "Feel icky."
Inuyasha grabs the regressor's hand to hold it still. "Yeah, well you're just going to have to deal with it. Cause the only way I'm letting you take those off is if your wind tunnel just so happened to magically disappear on its own, which last I checked, ain't gonna happen."
"I wan' Sango." For a moment Inuyasha swore that the boy was going to cry. He doesn’t, instead sticking out his tongue and continuing to sulk.
Inuyasha sighs. "You and me both bud." He realizes he should probably be a bit softer on the kid, but damn it, he was exhausted from days’ worth of traveling really just wasn't in the mood to deal with his friend at the mental state of a fussy toddler.
So umm, what do you wanna do till they get back?"
"Cuddles?" The monk makes slight gabby hands towards the other.
"Seriously?" He asks, pointedly not rolling his eyes at the continued grabby hands. "Fine then, your call. Come 'ere." He picked the regressor up, settling him into his lap. Miroku's practically engulfed with the fabric of the half demon's kimono. "There. That alright?"
"Puppy!" The regressor makes a grab for Inuyash'a ears.
"Nooo! Not a puppy." Inuysha gave Miroku's forehead a soft bonk with the back of his hand. "I'm a demon, you got that? Not a puppy."
Miroku only giggled, reaching for his ears again. "Pup-py!"
"Ugh..."

Things to Keep Summary: There were others who loved and needed Kagome even though InuYasha was meant to be with her. He knew this, but gods, the cost of it. A one-shot that was edited and polished to shine just for its 2nd Anniversary.
A/N: Two years ago today, I thanked a close friend for inspiring me with a dream she had because every day InuYasha spent without Kagome must've felt like an unending dream. A few months ago, I polished up "Things to Keep" and submitted it for a Rumic Fanzine project. Unfortunately it was rejected since I'd already published a previous version, but I still wanted to give this piece back to you because I'd fallen in love with my edits. And more than that, I knew you guys loved the original enough to nominate it for the 2021 2nd Quarterly Inuyasha Fandom Awards and you believed in it enough for the story to win third place in the best one shot category. Thank your support back then (and now, too!), and I hope you enjoy reading this special version, taking note of all the little changes.

Things to Keep (Anniversary Version)
InuYasha lounged under the shade of one of many trees lining the river near Kaede’s village. Miroku washed his family’s night robes with Gyokuto strapped to his back while Sango burped Kin’u. It’d been over a year since the well sealed. InuYasha still thought about the surprised look on Kagome’s face when he was pulled down the well, but he preferred to remember her safe in her mother’s arms. It was difficult to do. 
Kin’u burped and, within seconds, Sango had the newborn secured to her back. She knelt next to Miroku, telling him she’d take over as if she never stopped. InuYasha’s ear flicked. Despite catching their conversations more often, Sango’s tone was gentler than the half-demon was used to hearing. Miroku switched roles effortlessly, choosing to trade Sango’s clean pieces of laundry for dirty ones. 
And this was how they all lived now: resting by the greenery and exchanging cloth instead of sutras, oversized boomerangs, arrows, and swords. InuYasha wondered if Kagome’s days were boring like his; she always seemed frantic when he came to pick her up. Maybe she didn’t have time to think about them anymore. It would be easier for her that way.
Miroku shifted, putting InuYasha in Gyokuto’s line of vision. The newborn extended her arm out to him, and he was fascinated by the way her fingers flexed. The spaces between them were bigger than last month, putting him in a rotten mood. He hated seeing more of the world through those tiny fingers; it just meant the days Kagome spent here were getting smaller than the time they spent apart—if those types of things could even be compared. InuYasha had never really been around human babies before, so how was he supposed to know whether or not the emptiness Kagome left was even similar to babies growing up? The half-demon sharply turned away to offer Kin’u a passing glance instead. It’d be easier to watch that icicle of drool fall onto Sango’s back. 
The spring sun warmed everything in its path, something that only InuYasha’s legs understood while he lounged. 
Now Kin’u was gurgling, gnawing on her fist. 
Miroku once told him how remarkable it was that he always knew which twin was which, but the monk must’ve forgotten about InuYasha’s nose. The girls looked the same, but their scents were unique. It was kind of like Kikyo and Kagome’s: similar but only on the first sniff.
The afternoons were getting longer again. 
The sun’s reflection on the river’s surface shone like a beam now, hitting InuYasha right in the eyes. He blinked a few times, scowling. Damn thing made it nearly impossible to get a good look at that fibrous white towel, the one with the unmistakable blue polka dots that Sango was taking from Miroku. 
As if possessed by a demon, InuYasha was there. Standing by the river, standing before Sango. ....

Lazy Sunday Morning 🌄
Soooo... I didn't manage to finish out Mirsan Week completely 😭, BUT I did want to at least contribute one last short Fluff piece for the last day. Plus, it only seemed fitting for a Sunday 😜
Written for @loveofmirsan Day 7 Linens - a lazy Sunday morning with the Mirsan clan (including a slight nod to the Yashahime manga). Also, a Tumblr Exclusive.
Rating: G for General Audiences
Tags: Tooth-Rotting Fluff, Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Domestic, Family Fluff 😋
As the first rays of morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, Miroku's consciousness began to stir, feeling the warmth of the bed and the softness of the linen sheets. His gaze naturally fell upon his slumbering wife, her peaceful form serenely nestled beside him.
A tender smile tugged at his lips as he admired her beauty. He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close and nuzzling his face into the crook of her neck, savoring the sweet scent that was uniquely hers. His hand instinctively found its way to her swollen belly, caressing it with gentle affection as he feels the life growing within her, a profound connection that fills him with awe and gratitude.
His movements eventually roused her from her slumber, her eyes fluttering open to feel her husband holding her close. A soft, drowsy smile curved her lips as she found herself wrapped in his loving embrace. "Good morning, Hoshisama," she murmured her nickname for him, her voice still husky with sleep.
"Good morning, my dear Sango," Miroku whispered, his voice laced with affection.
He leaned in to give his wife a kiss only to be interrupted by a sudden but gentle kick against his hand. He chuckled, "Good morning to you too, little one." Miroku laid a soft kiss on Sango's belly before planting a kiss on her lips.
In the quiet intimacy of the morning, they laid intertwined in the soft linen sheets, basking in each other's warmth. Time seemed to slow as they exchanged soft kisses and whispered words of endearment to each other.
Just as the peacefulness began to settle, the sound of little footsteps echoed outside their bedroom door. Their twin girls, Kin'u and Gyokuto, bursted into their bedroom, their laughter filling the air while their eyes widened in delight as they spotted their parents.
"Hahaue! Chichiue!" they exclaimed in unison, their voices filled with innocent enthusiasm. They clambered onto the bed, joining their parents in their loving cocoon.
"Good morning, my dears," Miroku said, his voice brimming with affection as he smiled at his daughters who shared their mother's gorgeous brown hair and eyes. "Did you sleep well?"
The girls nodded eagerly, their eyes sparkling with excitement. "I dreamt that Kirara was huge and could fly! She flew us through the clouds on her back!" Kin'u exclaimed, her imagination taking flight about their family cat.
Gyokuto giggled, bouncing up and down on the bed. "I had a dream that Chichiue and Hahaue were battling a giant monster and won! You were like superheroes!"
Kin'u and Gyokuto, suddenly noticed where their father's hand rested and crawled closer, their curious eyes fixated on Sango's growing belly. "Is the baby awake, Hahaue?" Kin'u asked, her voice filled with wonder.
Sango nodded, a soft glow of happiness emanating from within her as she watched her husband's hand be quickly replaced by two sets of smaller hands.
Gyokuto's face lit up with wonder. "Hello, little sibling," she whispered, her voice filled with sibling adoration. "We can't wait to play with you and teach you all the fun things we know!"
Just as they reveled in the embrace of their family, a soft babble filled the air, drawing their attention to the youngest member of their clan. Hisui stood by the bed, his indigo eyes filled with wonder and curiosity. With small, unsteady steps, he toddled closer to the bed, his face lighting up with a radiant smile.
Sango's heart melted at the sight of her son who, unlike her daughters, shared a striking resemblance to their father with his darker hair and deep blue eyes. Miroku reached out to gather him into his arms, pulling him onto the bed and into their family's loving embrace.
With the family now complete, they reveled in the loving chaos that their lazy Sunday morning had become. Laughter, playful banter, and tender moments filled the room as they exchanged stories, tickles, and warm embraces.

MirSan: Man in the mirror
This is a entry for @loveofmirsan event MirSan week 2023 day 3: glass. The story of this Victoria Era AU center on a legend of a ritual in which young women would see their future husband in a mirror by chanting Bloody Mary which become the Bloody Mary urban legend that we know.
Gathering around the bathroom mirror, the group of young woman start asking who should go first. There is a legend that, by some magic words, the man that a woman would marry will appear in the mirror. Sango said to her friends as she push front, "This is my home, so I will go first in this silly legend."
Standing in front of the mirror, Sango said to the mirror, "Mary, Mary, Mary, show me who I will marry in days to come." Suddenly, the images of the girls in the mirror start to faded to Sango and the others' surprise and the girls take a step back. In a moment, a image of a well dressed man appear in the mirror.
The man in the mirror is a handsome young man with short black hair and blue eyes. He look so real that Sango could have swear that she saw his eyes move to look at the room. Kagome ask Sango, "Well, what do you see?" and Sango turn around to answer her friend question while confused, "What do you mean? Do you see that man...." but stop short when she look back at the mirror to see that it has return to normal, becoming a normal mirror and no man there. Sango step back in confused as the girls start arguing that they should take their turns now.
Two days later, Sango is told by her father in his lobby, "Sango, you have reach the age to be a fine wife to a man of our class. I have sent letters to many dukes and one of them wish to meet you. His name is Duke Miroku. He is around your age, I reckon."
As he enter, Sango was surprised at the appeance of Duke Miroku as he look strangely similar to the man in the mirror she saw in that party, and she look at him for some time until Sango's father said, "My dear, are you going to introduced yourself?"
Sango got a moment to noticed that Duke Miroku didn't have a reflection in the stairways mirror.
When Sango cheek a peek, she watch as Duke Miroku enter the mirror as if it is like water.
Despite days when Duke Miroku would be nowhere to be seem, Sango is blessed with children she now bear.
Sango watch as Miroku comes out of the mirror and take one of the twins, saying to her, "Forgive me my love, but I must have one of our daughters. Our time together was sweet, but we must go our separate ways as I can't stay forever in your world." and enter the mirror with the baby in his arms.
When the servants enter the bed chamber, they see Sango crying and one of the twins missing. Police looking into the strange disappearance of the baby girl would reveal that there are no records of Duke Miroku.

Only You, Sango
Summary: It was only Sango. It would only ever be Sango. But Miroku wanted what was best for her, and that person was Lord Takeda. No matter how much it pained him to let her go, he knew he had to. For her sake. For her happiness.
Only You, Sango, from Miroku's point of view.
This one is for @violetasteria, who has been having a rough go of things lately. I wanted to do something to cheer her up! I wrote this for @weekofmirsan originally for Mirsanweek2022, however, I had my baby early so it was left unfinished. I managed to crank out 4,000 words this past month while my baby napped, so I am FINALLY able to post it. I’m really pleased with how it came out because I’ve been dying to write this episode from his point of view for a long time.
Enjoy!

@inuyashapridemonth
It was almost too easy to convince Rin’s parents to let her come over for the weekend. Of course, he was hardly just anyone , but last he’d heard, Sesshomaru was being a real hard ass about the kids studying adequately for their end of year exams.
He nor Sango had qualms about returning the gifts that Miroku helped them choose should those report cards return with anything less than A’s lining the columns.
“You are my savior.” Rin huffed. She fell into his arms, giving him a sideways hug before heading, almost immediately, into his kitchen to ransack his cupboards. “Dad hasn’t given us a break since…” he heard the cabinet close and the plastic seal of the cookie container come squeaking open. “Since summer break, probably. If I have to face one more equation I’m gonna put my head in the toilet.”
Miroku chuckled.
“Your parents have always been hardcore.” He knew that his cookies were not long for that world, so he snagged one from the pack and picked a seat. “When Sango and I were in highschool she used to beat me during study sessions. Just–.” He grabbed the paper towel roll and made an example out of his counter. “Thwack, thwack, thwack.”
“If you think I’m going to say that she’s not like that anymore.” Around the cookie she shoved into her mouth hole, Rin continued, “I’m not. And, on top of that, they’ve been making us eat especially healthy food for the past few weeks.” She ranted for a few minutes about the way her parents had fashioned themselves into drill sergeants. When they were young they would order slices of cake from the cafe, sharing off of the plate while Sesshomaru went through cigarettes like they were going out of style.
“Get enough sleep. Eat healthy. No caffeine. No sugar–.” Rin bit into another, her tongue darting out to collect the crumbs that escaped her violent chewing. “It’s like they’ve never been young before. Dad especially.”
“Your dad was a menace before he adopted you.” Miroku assured her. “He threw away so many things for your sake. If he’s a little…utilitarian, it’s because he loves you.” And because he was a bit of a control freak.
“Loving me doesn’t give him the right to act insane.”
Miroku managed to snag a second cookie. The process of eating it would help him avoid saying too much or revealing secrets that he had no sole claim over. “Act? Now Rin, surely you know it isn’t an act. He popped out of a crazy mother, was raised by a crazy father, and still managed to feign sanity. At this point it wouldn’t be right to blame him for what he can’t help.” It was a joke, or, at least Miroku thought it was, but the way her eyes dipped and her appetite suddenly died was startling.
“He does plenty of judging.” She assured him. “If things aren’t the way ‘nature intended them’ then boom. In the trash. I don’t think I’m wrong to judge a little in return.”
“Rin–.”
“No! Because he threw away that decaf coffee you brought him back from Kyoto all because it wasn’t ‘right’.”
This was very clearly not about coffee, that much didn’t need to be acknowledged, but he sat quietly, waiting for her to explode. Though, he would be making Sesshomaru pay for that coffee. Miroku had chosen those beans especially for him. According to Sango, the rotten old bastard hadn’t been sleeping–too busy pacing the length of their bedroom muttering to himself until well into the night.
“Just imagine what he’ll do to me.”
“Over a cookie binge?” Miroku shrugged his shoulders, feigning ignorance. “He might make you go on a run with him, but I don’t think he’s taking you back to the orphanage over that one.”
“It’s not just the cookies.” She groaned. Her head hit the counter with a dull thump. “I'm failing English, they want me to bring my nonexistent boyfriend to christmas dinner, and all the while my girlfriend is introducing me to her parents on new years.”
“Aren’t you a little young for a girlfriend?”
“I’m fifteen, Miroku! I’m not a baby anymore.”
“When you were a baby you banged your head on the counter, ate all my food, and cried when your papa didn’t cuddle you enough.”
“If anyone understands–.”
“It’s me.” Miroku stood, collecting her how he did when she was still so small he only needed the one arm. “But I’ve been saying it since you sat down. Your father loves you. So much. You’re his daughter, his family. Nothing could get in the way of that.”
“He hates uncle InuYasha,” she murmured into his chest. For someone who was very much not a baby, she still seemed to be soothed by the sound of his heart thudding against her ear.
“And that has nothing to do with the fact that he was born aunty InuYumi.”
“Then–.”
“Not my story to tell.”
Rin pulled back. Most of her tears had already fallen by then, but she still brushed at her cheeks to be sure. In moments like those, when she was such a stunning combination of the people who had been ready to raise her, Miroku knew he’d done the right thing stepping away from the two people he’d loved the most. He hadn’t been ready. He’d resented Rin. Raising Kohaku after Sango’s parents’ passing had been too much, but to add on an infant? They held nothing against him when he took that massive step backwards, and he eventually found his own happiness, but there were days when they were reminiscing over their youth, that he’d wished they’d chosen him.
Today was not one of those days. She was a product of their connection, and calling him uncle instead of papa somehow made that connection burn brighter.
“You say that your father hates when things aren’t as they’re intended to be, but you have not been altered. So, don’t you think that would mean that this inauthentic version of yourself is the one he’d actually hate?”
She considered that for so long he worried she’d shut down on him. Then, finally, she sat back down and rested along the cradle she made of her arms.
“If they disown me…”
“I have a spare room.” He assured her, and then, as an afterthought, “and an old sutra with your old man’s name on it.”

Fleet Week - Day 2: Friendship day
Oh yeah! This is it, my kind of fic!
There are so many good friendships in the series, and I went with InuYasha & Sango. Because I'm a sucker for dog boy having to adjust to his friend being a mama.
As usual, shout out to @inu-mothership for the event, and @hanmajoerin for helping me make it better.
Tumblr media
Kick
By then, Sango was used to having her stomach touched by everyone.
As her belly grew, so did the attention she received from everyone around her. 
Miroku, who was already a very touchy husband, became even more so the minute she announced her suspicions 6 months previously. He managed to mostly control himself when they were in public, but as soon as they were alone, his hands would fly over to her stomach, trying to feel any and every movement happening inside. He didn’t give her a break, not even at night: he now slept exclusively with his arms around her middle, which sometimes got him an elbow on the ribs from time to time when Sango needed to move.
The children were by far the most openly excited, greeting her hands first everyday. Shippou assigned himself the duty of “baby monitor” ever since he was the first–and only–one to detect two heart beats, signaling the presence of twins, months ago. Everyday he would press his pointy ears to her belly and relay what he could hear, always proud of the job only he could do. 
Kaede touched her periodically out of midwifery duty, and instructed Rin on how to do the same, and what to look for while doing it. The girl could barely contain her elation to be following through and learning so much with her first ever pregnancy, each lesson being punctuated by exclamations of wonder, some bouncing in place, and the occasional clapping. 
Other villagers always arrived full of questions. The children surrounded her with touches, wanting to know when they would meet their new playmates, while the older women asked about how she was doing, gently placing their hands on her stomach and recalling their own past pregnancies.  
Before their battle with Naraku ended, she would have avoided the interactions with scrutiny, she couldn’t deny it was enjoyable being the center of attention in this situation. Everyone seemed interested and excited about the babies.
Everyone, that is, except InuYasha.
He kept saying he wasn’t interested whenever she asked, but InuYasha had never been much of a good liar. Sango would catch his ears twitching and perking up whenever the subject of the babies came up, and he gave sideways glances whenever he thought nobody was paying attention. It was endearing how much her friend was genuinely attentive to the matter, and she truly wanted him to be part of it, but as long as he thought she was only asking on his behalf, he would dodge it, out of… embarrassment? If Kagome was here, she might be able to tell her why he acted this way. Sango wasn’t entirely sure as to why he kept depriving himself of the involvement he clearly wanted, but in the end, the reasons didn’t matter. She would find a way to include him one way or the other. 
It finally happened on a late afternoon when they were alone: Sango was hanging the freshly washed laundry, and InuYasha was by her side.
“Just sit down and let me do it. Miroku shouldn’t let you work like this.”
“I’m pregnant, not armless. I can still handle laundry.”
He huffed, but didn’t move to take the basket out of Sango’s hands. He just watched as she worked until she laid the load down and moved to sit on a nearby rock to rest.
“See? You get tired too easily now.”
“As far as I know, getting a little tired from carrying these two around isn’t life threatening. I swear, I’d die of boredom if you had it your way.”
InuYasha huffed again, and quietly made his way to her side.
They sat in a comfortable silence for a few minutes, Sango choosing her next words carefully.
“They really seem to be moving a lot today,” she said with a sigh and a hand on her belly. “InuYasha… do you want to feel the babies?”
His face flushed.
“N-no. Why would I?”
Sango reached out to grab his nearest wrist. “It would mean a lot to me if you did,” she said, guiding his hand to her stomach.
InuYasha tried to squirm away as his palm made contact with the material of her clothes.
“I really don’t–holy shit was that a foot!?!”
Sango looked down, trying hard to contain her laughter at the genuine wonder of her friend feeling the babies for the first time. “Yes! Or a hand, I don’t know, they move too much.”
“Fuck… does it hurt?” he asked, moving both hands to her stomach, eyes wide like a child’s and glued to her, as if she could burst at any moment.
“Not really, unless they kick my ribs or something like that.”
“It’s so weird…”
“Super weird,” she nodded. “Houshi-sama says they’ll be born slayers since they’re already practicing their attacks.”
“Are they always like this?”
“Like what?”
“So kicky?”
She chuckled. “Not really, but they seem to react to some things. Like Houshi-sama’s voice. Kirara and Shippou seem to make them more active too. I guess they can sense the youki.”
InuYasha didn’t say anything for a while, pondering what Sango had just said.
“Do you think they’ll hate me?” He asked quietly, almost too quiet to hear.
Sango smiled.
“No. I think they already love you.”

"Btw Kagura is just one year old" 🤡🤡🤡 HOLY SHIT!!! Stupid people/Intentionally dim motherfuckers get on my nerves. 😱
According to S/r shippers, Kagura is a one year old wittle baby. 👶🏻Inuyasha is a 500 year old dirty old man. 👴🏻 But Sesshomaru... he's only 19. 👦🏻 He's barely an adult. 🧑🏻 Matter of fact he just lost his last baby teeth like og!Rin too! He's just a misunderstood minor 👼🏻
I hate seeing people twist shit to fit their dumbass narratives, stay consistent! Fucking hell. Kagura, a grown woman that's on grown ass man Sesshomaru's level. Inuyasha, a fifteen year old boy on the same level as teenage Kagome, Sango, Miroku. Rin, 5-8 year old that's peer group would include Shippo and Kohaku. Stfu.
SessRinners mess around with ages a lot to muddy the waters, claiming Antis criticise PedoBin because Sesshomaru is hundreds of years old, calling us hypocrites because Sumisawa made Inuyasha 250 years old in the anime and Kagura is chronologically 1 year old...but it all boils down to maturity. Inuyasha is Kagome's peer and equal, Miroku and Sango are at most two years apart, as are Kagura and Sesshomaru. They're all in their teens or late teens.
As for Rin and Sesshomaru, he's an adult, she's a child. It doesn't even matter if you look at Sesshomaru's demon age or not, he's STILL an adult, and Rin the child in his care.
...how utterly delusional do lolicons have to be to claim a kid is actually a "malnourished petite adult woman with dwarfism", while 17 year old Kagura is "an infant"??? ☠️

Custom Toonami Block Week 152 Rundown
Spy X Family: After the foreshadowing last week we introduce Fiona properly and the r34 kinda spoiled this one for me because the joke is supposed to be that she wants in on the big operation and she’s seen as a glory hound but it’s really that she likes Loid and is pissy about not being picked to be his wife the one time he needs a fake marriage. I don’t know if I’d have figured it out before the punchline but it’s still pretty funny to watch Anya read her mind and hear here thoughts SCREAM about how much she loves him while she’s wearing a stoic face. She picks at Yor’s insecurities about her home ec skills and tries to not so subtly talk to Loid in code about how Yor isn’t a good fit for the mission despite everyone telling her him suddenly getting a new wife out of nowhere would be massively sus, like we just saw Fiona vent. Also Anya gets some really good moments of propping Yor up and affirming her love for her when she finds out Fiona wants to go Tiger Mom on her and I really wish Anya got more of this instead of ‘she’s bad at everything but it’s okay because she’s cute’ like it’s way more interesting to see her leverage her unique advantage from mind-reading in her own limited way than just kinda bungle through things. Still the episode does a good job of making Fiona’s feelings sympathetic without putting her in the right, like it’d be a problem if we thought she was a heartless witch or if she really was better than Yor for the mission but neither of those happen and she’s able to see Loid has genuine affection for his new family and for now is willing to step back a bit, though she decides on the new mission she has with Loid that she’ll try again. Also the whole ass end credits play before the B-plot kicks in so idk but it’s a cute little vignette about Bond ripping up Anya’s stuffed animal and them making up after a spat, it’s pretty cute and shit.
Inuyasha: More Kohaku action this time and he is forced to kill all the castle guards and steal The Baby back before Sango comes by and is like ‘shit, not again bro’ and he’s conscious for it the whole time and actively crying about it. Meanwhile Abi’s fighting Inuyasha still and is just like ‘oh shit guess it was a normal human castle, oh well god my blood, gonna peace out’. Kohaku suddenly remembers that Sango is his sister and that he killed his parents, getting over the memory block he’s had for half the series and getting past his grief by deciding to take his chance to try and kill Naraku to atone. Sango’s back to mulling over her options because even if she gets Kohaku back there’s no telling if Naraku will still be able to control him or if he’ll even want to live (spoiler, rn he doesn’t) so she decides agaian to try and kill him herself despite deciding that was a bad idea the past few times at the last second but she runs into some of the villagers Kohaku saved and takes solace in the fact there’s still some good in his heart. Both Inuyasha and Kagura’s group come to the same conclusion around the same time that the Baby is Naraku’s heart that was split from Hakudoshi. Miroku and Sango have a nice wholesome moment where he deliberately doesn’t undercut it with a fondling joke Naraku also dispels the barrier around Abi’s nest which Abi didn’t even know was there until her mom pointed it out but yeah now Inuyasha will be able to sniff her out and come get her but Kikyo sends her little cherubs out to warn him it’s probably a trap.
Yu Yu Hakusho: This one’s all about Hiei’s backstory, in a nutshell Hiei’s tribe are like the Gerudo and he’s the Ganondorf of the bunch except instead of making him king they murder him as a baby and slutshame his mom. Apparently Hiei’s just that badass that he was born with full consciousness like Ray from Promised Neverland and he grew up wanting to burn down his hometown which is hard because they’re a bunch of floating ice nomads but both Yukina and his mom’s friend Rui are on board for Plan Hiei Revenge Genocide Mk3 because throwing anyone with testicles off a cliff is not exactly a stable form of government. Hiei’s also looking for his birthright, the jewel of his mother’s tear from when he was born and now carries the same from Yukina, this is a lot of sidequests for Hiei in the last like ten episodes but we’ve got some character building to do I guess. Meanwhile Mukuro has set 500 A-class demons on Hiei and considering Hiei himself is supposed to be an A-class at this point I’m really starting to think the letters don’t mean a damn thing or every time they throw them around to sound important they really mean ‘bottom of this class so we can kinda sound tough’ like theoretically every demon on that list should be stronger than Toguro and somehow I’m not seeing ‘lizard guy with a mace’ as beating Toguro. Either way it’s been six months of Hiei carving his way through nominally strong guys and getting about as much sleep as I did in college and Mukuro’s like ‘okay for real this time just one more strong dude and we’re done and you can be in my inner circle’. Turns out it’s the doctor that gave Hiei the Jigan eye because that’s the only other thing we’ve fleshed out about him at this point and he needs to be haunted by all his demons at once damnit. Like it just feels kinda weird to retcon that Hiei actively made himself weaker when he got the surgery for all the eye has done for him over the course of the series (pretty much jack shit) and then also half-retcon that the doctor told him to not tell Yukina he was her brother because he just gets off on that I guess, no idea how you run a demon back alley doctor’s office on monkey’s paw promises but sure, like Hiei mentions he wouldn’t have told her anyway but it seems like a weird thing to throw in like we’re trying to explain why Hiei was only every exactly as strong as he needed to be to look cool at any given time but it translates his growth into recovery meaning all the power of friendship and relying on others has done for him all series is sorta slightly helped him get back to where he was without it a little faster.
Jujutsu Kaisen: Now we get the Oceans 11 montage of how Mahito pulled off the Finger Heist (also a few other cursed thingies that will probably be important later) basically long story short they keep the fingers in a dimensional maze and Mahito spiritually peed on the finger they confiscated from him so he could smell his spiritual pee to find the right door and sneak into the vault and take all the fingers. So I guess that takes the ‘why don’t we just jam fingers into Yuji till he’s strong enough?’ question off the table, and also like several people are dead and Coatrack guy is just talking about coatracks so he isn’t much help. Still Todo brings up a good point that being all sullen won’t help anyone and pretending they care so much about faceless mooks they didn’t know is hypocritical so we get to the real meet of the collab event: baseball… wait, baseball? Yeah apparently Gojo sensed we needed a filler episode so he slipped baseball into the Goblet of Fire which results in me getting to see Nobara in a baseball uniform which is one of my secret fetishes so I am literally game. It’s a fun little wrapup though like just kinda putting a cap on the relationships that came to a head during the arc, getting some really funny jokes in and alleviating the sense of anti-climax that happens whenever bad guys jump into one of these Chunin Exam arcs like the people who really wanted to see the end of Sasuke vs Gaara. But yeah, Tokyo wins at the end of the day and it’s kind of ironic that The Boondocks kickball episode had more anime bullshit than an actual bullshit anime baseball episode like for the most part everyone’s just playing fair.
Zom 100: Akira’s still in his zombified state under Neo Capitalism but luckily the series is smart enough to not beat us over the head with that for the whole episode so we get the theme by proxy by finally getting Shizuka’s backstory. Her dad was… uhhh Gozaburo Kaiba I think, but yeah he’s the one that put the ideas of success by any measure, to the point where he even said her marrying wasn’t necessary (idk bro seemed like he did it at some point unless he reproduced asexually) and yeah he also killed her puppy because if you thought the adorable puppy was gonna survive the backstory this must be your first anime backstory. But yeah they make it very clear that the balance between ‘need’ and ‘want’ is the theme of the episode and the whole series really. Shizuka finds the bucket list and surprisingly Akira’s boss is willing to let her and Tencho go while gaslighting Akira into staying which is actually more decent than I thought he’d be like given he’s basically eyehumping Shizuka I thought for sure he’d be like ‘nah everyone stays’ given there’s no logic to his leadership anyway and if this was the Walking Dead this guy would have a broken bottle in his neck like a week ago. But yeah Shizuka gives Akira back the list and inspires him to be like ‘yeah thanks for everything but we’re going now and if that’s not good enough for you kindly fuck off, thanks.’ And of course as a climax the truck stop gets a zombie outbreak that Akira gets to sort out and save his boss’s life while demolishing any respect anyone had for his leadership ability and everyone gets to get the fuck out of dodge while Shizuka gets to give a good speech about enjoying the moment to show off her character development so that’s cool. I think her switch happened a little fast but I also kinda like that the way they pull her out of her mindset is by watching someone else make the same mistakes since you’re more likely to give someone else good advice than take it from yourself because psychology is a bitch.
Ranking of Kings: The time has finally come for the final battle, Bosse!Daida vs Bojji! Bosse gives Miranjo his apologize and then an ultimatum to everyone else, swear loyalty to him under his real name or die for the sake of Daida’s kingdom he had for like three days. Everyone reflects on their tragic backstories and the love they’ve shared and watched as Bojji’s grown and unanimously decide to stand by his side and reclaim the real Daida. It’s really cool how when Bojji looks around at them he sees the weakest parts of each of the Big Four, Sword Guy’s mechanical hand, Shield Guy’s missing foot, Spear Guy’s trembling knees from his torn loyalty, and he reflects on the tenderest parts of each of them as they fought for what they loved and decides he’s gonna fight Bosse solo. Everyone’s kind of nervous but Bojji FUCKING OWNS Bosse!Daida, bro can’t even TOUCH Bojji as he’s Attack on Titaning around and busting up his weapon and disabling his body he doesn’t even land a fucking hit on Bojji bro, eventually Bosse has to admit defeat and tries to smash Miranjo but Bojji’s able to stop him so they can reflect on what has to be done properly. Apparently the only way to get Daida back is to kill Miranjo which I don’t really understand since the Dad Shake she had Daida drink didn’t really have any direct link to her but I guess it’s more dramatic. Also there’s a plot about the demon also having the key to fixing Ouken but we don’t get any more on that just yet. But yeah, Bojji promises to save Miranjo from the demon and breaks her mirror, sending her and Bosse’s souls free but her’s is dragged into the demon’s stomach to be tortured by the demon’s stomach demons for all eternity.
Vinland Saga: We find out that Leif’s been making as much money as he can to buy and liberate as many slaves as possible but given that slaves are really expensive and all you have to do to get one is capture some dude he’s not really making a dent. Meanwhile he’s in York while Canute is making his entrance for the big meeting he’s gonna have with King Daddy when he gets shot. But aha! Askeladd’s pulled a beginning of Attack of the Clones on everyone and instead of effeminate Canute it’s slightly more effeminate big titty female slave Canute that took the crossbow arrow. Meanwhile Thorfinn tracks down the assassin and murders him in front of Leif with all the chance meeting grace of a high schooler falling on a titty. He begs Thorfinn to come back and see his dying mother but Thorfinn’s just like ‘yeah how’s that fairy tale world you told me about doin’ huh?’ still Leif says he’ll stay in town if he reconsiders. Now we get the full extent of Askeladd’s plan which is like five layers of ‘but he knows what I know that he knows what I know that he knows’ and essentially they wrapped up the king in the Chains of Commanding and make sleighting Canute a bad look while making Canute seem important and feeding his spy info that will make him complacent and put up a false sense of security. Now for the final scene we have a pretty cool deal of Thorfinn getting his duel with Askeladd again but meanwhile Thorfinn still has a broken fucking arm, now I have two theories as to why Thorfinn’s pushing for the fight right now (aside from just wanting to get it done because he’s a revenge-driven murder monkey). 1. He just saw Leif and is genuinely wanting to get the revenge out of his system so he can take Leif up on his offer and return with him under the false assumption that killing Askeladd will heal all the turmoil inside him. 2. Seeing Leif reminded him of how little progress he’s made in the past eleven years and he’s just an angry little pissbaby with the encounter refreshing the pain and memory of his father’s death that has at least dulled somewhat into a low heat of hatred in his heart. But either way Askeladd has some other shit to do first and Bjorn’s off his deathbad long enough to be killed by Askeladd’s hand, saying all he wanted was to be Askeladd’s friend even if it was a lie in the end. He did it not because he wanted to go to Valhalla because I’m pretty sure Valhalla still counts as long as you got the wound in battle even if you die days later, but because Askeladd was the ideal man to him and that’s how he wanted to die. Askeladd admits Bjorn was his only true friend, maybe sincerely, maybe just to put him at peace before he dies, but he puts his second in command to rest either way. Then he fucking turns to Thorfinn and basically goes ‘okay I got my adulting done, guess I have to deal with your petty childish bullshit now huh?’.

Also, something just occurred to me and I started cackling really hard. Like yes, Inuyasha is going to be super protective of his sis-in-law, but I can already recognize the sheer crisis of interest and trouble with processing he'll have when he finds out Irene is PREGNANT. By SESSHOMARU. It's SESSHOMARU'S kid. Irene is going break her lil bro-in-law's brain and he won't have his emotional support Kagome there to help him yet. Poor Sango's probably gonna be caught in the middle of this. 😂
Miroku is going to be Inuyasha’s therapist throughout the whole thing, but at the same time be the WORST person to ever talk to about that subject because he’ll go way into detail and start wondering about Sesshomaru/Irene’s steamy night in the forest. Inuyasha is going to be in such strong denial, and it’s even funnier because HE’S THE ONE WHO FIGURES IT OUT FIRST.
Straight up, a couple weeks to a month after the festival, Irene is gonna be helping Sango and Miroku with Kin’Gyo and Inuyasha is gonna walk up to chat with them, stop, freeze, grow horrified, and just stare at Irene before pointing and going, very very loudly, “No. No, no, no, no, no!!!! WHAT DID YOU DO!?”
“What?”
“You did NOT sleep with Sesshomaru!”
“…HAH!? Don’t just freaking scream that!!!!”
“NO. TELL ME YOU DIDN’T. IRENE. TELL ME YOU DIDN’T SLEEP WITH SESSHOMARU RIGHT NOW.”
Irene, starting to panic: “…Oh gods. Inuyasha. Inuyasha, what’s going on? WHAT DO YOU KNOW!?”
Inuyasha, losing his mind, utterly horrified: “WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN!??? HOW DID THIS HAPPEN!?”
Irene: “DOES IT MATTER!? HOW DO YOU KNOW!???”
Inuyasha: “SO YOU DID SLEEP WITH HIM!??? UGH! EUGH! EWWW! WHY!? WHY HIM!?”
Irene: “ANSWER THE QUESTION!!!”
Inuyasha is unresponsive. He’s just crouched down with his hands on his head, muttering to himself in complete horror and disbelief that Sesshomaru was capable of doing such a thing and that he did it to his friend and that said friend is pregnant.
There are things in this world Inuyasha did not want or need to know. This is one of them. But it’s staring him in the face- hitting his nose- and oh GODS he’s going to have to stab Sesshomaru now but also oh GODS this isn’t actually happening right? This is just a fever dream, right? Sesshomaru doesn’t actually fuck, right? Inuyasha isn’t about to be an uncle, r i g h t?
Miroku and Sango are just like: 😳🫢
Sango looks at Irene screeching in panic at Inuyasha to answer her and explain, before turning to face Miroku: “I’ve always wondered when Irene and Sesshomaru would get together.”
Miroku: “I’m honestly surprised Sesshomaru didn’t act sooner.”
Sango: “Ha! I always thought Irene would make the first move.”
Miroku: “Ah, my lovely wife, Irene may have fallen first, but Sesshomaru fell much harder.”
Sango: “What’s that supposed to mean?”
Miroku gestures to Irene throttling Inuyasha, shaking him by the collar. The half-demon is screeching for her to let him go because of how horrifying her scent is, but isn’t shoving her away. “This. This is what it means.”
Sango, realization dawning: “…Oh my gods she’s pregnant.”
Inuyasha, on the verge of tears: ��SESSHOMARU ISN’T ALLOWED TO MAKE ME AN UNCLE THAT’S NOT HOW THIS WORKS!!!”
Irene: 🫨🤯😱
Okay but like on a more serious note I have been thinking about when Sesshomaru sneaks Irene away into the forest, he also kinda marries her there. Like nothing really fancy, but he takes out a white shiromuku hood (like the one she wore on her way to meet Ryuno) from inside his haori and drapes it over her head and shoulders before leaning down to kiss her.
Just something very simple, subtle, and sweet, and sort of like eloping, I guess- but also only Sesshomaru is aware they’re married, lol, until he has to go get Irene and baby Sora from Koga’s (courtesy of Sango and Kirara) because she panicked and ran away, in which he probably says something later about how he had to “find his wife that ran away”.
Like there’s no way Sess would have a proper wedding, but like I could totally see him doing something really simple and sweet with just the two of them in the forest deep (Hehe) that pretty much results with them being married.

My Inuyasha oc Kouko's last reference sheet was a bit outdated, and hard for me to properly use and colorpick from, so I figured I'd make a new, more in-depth, easier to use one! Now with a nicer formal outfit, because the last one was an eyesore- LMAO SUPER happy with how this came out though! o(≧▽≦)o This should make drawing her a lot easier, and just all around looks nicer.
Kouko Yoshida, Also known as 'The Sapphire Swordmaiden', is a stoic demon slayer wandering on her own with nothing but her sword, her horse, and her wits. Though her height, with her standing at about 6'2, and her closed off demeanor can make her look a bit cold if not downright intimidating, deep down she's actually just a warmhearted softy with a habit of feeding fish and other animals she comes across on her adventures and picking up pretty rocks. She's more of a gentle giant than anything else when it comes to people or animals, even if she harbors a deeply set grudge against near all demons for reasons she refuses to share.
She meets the main cast through a misunderstanding started through her having a jewel shard or two on her person that ends in the crew gaining two more shards, and a new party member.
She sticks near Kagome and Sango a majority of the time when she isn't alone, mostly because they seem the most trustworthy, with her being unsettled and freaked out by Shippo, and giving Miroku a near constant silent treatment after their first interaction. Though oddly enough Inuyasha seems to be more on her good side than either of the other guys on the team, with her seeing being half demon as being more trustworthy than a fullblooded one. They do end up falling in love, but that's only way later down the line after a long buildup.
I'll write down some little extra little facts about her below, but if you're interested in Kouko's backstory and relationship with Inuyasha more in-depth, you can check out her backstory post, and my “Get to know my ship!” Post
- Her horse is named Aiko, who she takes with her everywhere. She's had him for years, and he's her baby, she'd kill a man for that horse if needed, and likely has at some point. (I intend to draw Aiko in the future!)
- Her favorite hobbies are fishing and collecting rocks she finds pretty. Fishing soothes her mind, while also being a good way of getting food, and collecting rocks is just a culmination of her "Oo shiny" mentality and makes her happy LMAO She has a small bag of all of her favorites she's found over the years.
- She prefers meat over a majority of sweet foods, whether it be fish, chicken, or something else, she's happy with it. One of the few exceptions though is persimmons, which are her favorite fruit, and hold a special place in her heart.
- She has a lower, soothing voice. It gets rumbly and purr-like when she's tired or extra relaxed.
- She's afraid of bugs. Not things like Mister Centipede, but normal, run of the mill bugs. She gets so startled everytime Myoga pops up.  Huge demons are light work when compared to the actual two to three inch bug, and her excuse is how easily they could wriggle their way into things like clothes and bags, but they mostly just ick her out.
- Her emotional weakness is fire or smoke in general. She hates the smell of it, and tends to sit a ways away from any campfires they group has, either polishing her weapon, or sewing up rips in her clothes. This only changes later on, when she's gradually brought closer to the campfire little by little, and reassured that she's safe with them over time.
That's all for now! Any other little details will be shown throughout drawings or small comics!
